Malicorne founder Gabriel Yacoub, taking his inspiration from the French/Celtic explorations of Alan Stivell and Dan Ar Braz, as well as the British folk-rock of Steeleye Span, led his crew in producing rich, haunting arrangements of the folk music of France, Brittany, and Francophone Canada. The band's later recordings feature original compositions and more contemporary instrumentation while retaining a traditional flavor. ~ Michael P. Dawson, Rovi
